Empty glass, empty glass, I pity you

Translation: machine translated

In addition to its primary function, a wine glass can be distinguished by its aesthetic appeal and its shape, designed to release all the aromas.

True wine connoisseurs attach great importance to the glass, whose design allows the bouquet to give off its full aroma.

White wine

Do waiters tend to fill your white wine glass less? It's to keep it nice and chilled, not to save you from a hangover the next day. That's why these glasses can be thinner. Because of their fruity nature, white wines thrive in a small space. The riesling will reveal all its aromas in a narrow tulip-shaped glass.

Red wine

Pouring red wines need room to breathe and release all their aromas, a bit like in a decanter. Bulky glasses are suitable for Bourgognes et aux Bordeaux.

So that the bubbles of champagne and prosecco, the "foam point", which encourages the formation of bubbles, plays an important role. This is a small rough area at the base of the glass where the bubbles originate. These bubbles then rise in a cordon in the middle of the glass.

Dessert wines

To top off a meal with a sweet note, there's nothing better than a -dessert wine. Dessert wines are used to serve wines to be savoured, and can feature embellishments and small details. As dessert wines are drunk cold, small size is the order of the day.

This universal glass is suitable for virtually all wines. On the other hand, a connoisseur will have to make a few compromises. In return, your kitchen cupboard will be a little less cluttered, your wine cellar another story...
